How does a pawn loan work at Queen of Pawns?
A pawn loan is a simple way to get quick cash with no credit check. Your loan is based on the market value and condition of an item you use as collateral—not your credit score.
Bring an item of value to any Queen of Pawns location in Florida for a free appraisal. If you accept our offer, you receive cash and have 60 days to redeem your pawned item.
Your item remains your property and is fully insured and securely stored, with 24/7 video surveillance and state-of-the-art security. To redeem it, simply repay the pawn principal plus the fixed pawn rate and take your item home.
If I already have a pawn, can I get a second one?
Absolutely! You can have more than one pawn at a time and visit Queen of Pawns as often as you need.

Should I pawn or sell my item?
Both pawning and selling can get you instant cash, but the best option depends on whether you want to keep your item.
If you want cash without giving up ownership, a pawn may be the better choice. Your item is used as collateral for a short-term pawn loan, with no credit check required, and you can reclaim it when you repay your pawn.
If you no longer want or need the item, you can sell it for cash to Queen of Pawns. We’ll appraise your item based on its current market value and, if you accept our offer, you receive cash and transfer ownership to us.

What happens if I don’t repay my pawn? Can I still pawn something else?
Yes. If you decide not to repay your pawn, you can simply walk away with no impact on your credit and no additional penalties. Ownership of the pawned item transfers to Queen of Pawns, with no further action required from you.
